Sell Your William F Halsall Art
Here is a piece of William F Halsall art we have sold:
1841 William F. Halsall Marine Painting
Marine painting by William F. Halsall. Oil on canvas. Signed to lower right, “W.F. Halsall.” British-born maritime painter William F. Halsall worked as a sailor from 1852 to 1859. The following year, he began studying fresco painting in Boston with William E. Norton, though his studies were interrupted by the outbreak of the American Civil War. Halsall enlisted in the United States Navy in 1860. After two years’ service he resumed fresco work but soon changed course to pursue marine painting instead, and studied at the Lowell Institute in Boston from 1862 to 1870. This piece is quintessential to Halsall’s oeuvre, depicting a solitary sailboat on choppy green seas. Image measures 20″ x 12″. Typical surface grime, otherwise excellent condition. Sold for $1,169.
The following are some additional art items we sold:

Antonio Jacobsen’s “The Vaderland”
Antonio Jacobsen’s oil on canvas, “The Vaderland.” The 1909 maritime painting by Danish-born American artist Antonio Nicolo Gasparo Jacobsen, depicts a realistic steamship in black with red trim, cutting across choppy ocean waves. The tormented sky behind the cruising vessel, depicted in an array of moody blues and greys, swirls with dark clouds as violent and ominous as the icy black & grey ocean waves in the foreground. Jacobsen’s eye for ship detail established him as the premier nautical artist of his day. An American folk art hero born in Copenhagen in 1850, Jacobsen’s works reflect the history of domestic and international ships. A prolific painter and creator of some 6,000 paintings, Jacobsen came from a long line of Danish violin-makers. He left his family in Denmark and arrived in New York in the early 1870’s. Like many immigrants, Jacobsen went to New York City’s Battery Park seeking work, and passed his days sketching ships that sailed in and out of the harbor. A representative from Marvin Safe Company noticed his drawings and offered him a job decorating safes. Jacobsen’s detailed artwork, drenched with his personal passion for nautical subjects, led to commissions from sea captains and ship owners and, inevitably, steamship companies to document their entire fleet. The Old Dominion Line, The Fall River Line and The White Star Line are among the steamship companies that commissioned Jacobsen to paint portraits of their sea vessels. Jacobsen died in Newark, NJ in 1921. Portrait measures 36″ x 22″ (41.5″ x 27.5″ with frame) and shows very light wear along right edge, not noticeable except upon close inspection. A beautiful and foreboding image by one of the most sought-after nautical portraitists in American art. Sold for $13,771.
